Implementation of SBML's Model construct.In an SBML model definition, a single object of class Model serves as the overall container for the lists of the various model components. All of the lists are optional, but if a given list container is present within the model, the list must not be empty; that is, it must have length one or more. The following are the components and lists permitted in different Levels and Versions of SBML in version 5.10.0 of libSBML:
In SBML Level 1, the components are: UnitDefinition, Compartment, Species, Parameter, Rule, and Reaction. Instances of the classes are placed inside instances of classes ListOfUnitDefinitions, ListOfCompartments, ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfRules, and ListOfReactions.
In SBML Level 2 Version 1, the components are: FunctionDefinition, UnitDefinition, Compartment, Species, Parameter, Rule, Reaction and Event. Instances of the classes are placed inside instances of classes ListOfFunctionDefinitions, ListOfUnitDefinitions, ListOfCompartments, ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfRules, ListOfReactions, and ListOfEvents.
In SBML Level 2 Versions 2, 3 and 4, the components are: FunctionDefinition, UnitDefinition, CompartmentType, SpeciesType, Compartment, Species, Parameter, InitialAssignment, Rule, Constraint, Reaction and Event. Instances of the classes are placed inside instances of classes ListOfFunctionDefinitions, ListOfUnitDefinitions, ListOfCompartmentTypes, ListOfSpeciesTypes, ListOfCompartments, ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfInitialAssignments, ListOfRules, ListOfConstraints, ListOfReactions, and ListOfEvents.
Although all the lists are optional, there are dependencies between SBML components such that defining some components requires defining others. An example is that defining a species requires defining a compartment, and defining a reaction requires defining a species. The dependencies are explained in more detail in the SBML specifications.
In addition to the above lists and attributes, the Model class in both SBML Level 2 and Level 3 has the usual two attributes of 'id' and 'name', and both are optional. As is the case for other SBML components with 'id' and 'name' attributes, they must be used according to the guidelines described in the SBML specifications. (Within the frameworks of SBML Level 2 and Level 3 Version 1 Core, a Model object identifier has no assigned meaning, but extension packages planned for SBML Level 3 are likely to make use of this identifier.)
Finally, SBML Level 3 has introduced a number of additional Model attributes. They are discussed in a separate section below.
LibSBML provides two main mechanisms for creating objects: class constructors (e.g., Species.Species() ), and createObject()
methods (such as Model.createSpecies()) provided by certain Object classes such as Model. These multiple mechanisms are provided by libSBML for flexibility and to support different use-cases, but they also have different implications for the overall model structure.
In general, the recommended approach is to use the createObject()
methods. These methods both create an object and link it to the parent in one step. Here is an example:
# Create an SBMLDocument object in Level 3 Version 1 format: sbmlDoc = SBMLDocument(3, 1) # Create a Model object inside the SBMLDocument object and set # its identifier. The call to setId() returns a status code # to indicate whether the assignment was successful. Code 0 # means success; see the documentation for Model's setId() for # more information. model = sbmlDoc.createModel() model.setId("BestModelEver") # Create a Species object inside the Model and set its identifier. # Again, the setId() returns a status code to indicate whether the # assignment was successful. Code 0 means success; see the # documentation for Specie's setId() for more information. sp = model.createSpecies() sp.setId("BestSpeciesEver")
The createObject()
methods return a pointer to the object created, but they also add the object to the relevant list of object instances contained in the parent. (These lists become the <listOfObjects>
elements in the finished XML rendition of SBML.) In the example above, Model.createSpecies() adds the created species directly to the <listOfSpeciesgt;
list in the model. Subsequently, methods called on the species change the species in the model (which is what is expected in most situations).
To make it easier for applications to do whatever they need, libSBML version 5.10.0 is relatively lax when it comes to enforcing correctness and completeness of models during model construction and editing. Essentially, libSBML will not in most cases check automatically that a model's components have valid attribute values, or that the overall model is consistent and free of errors—even obvious errors such as duplication of identifiers. This allows applications great leeway in how they build their models, but it means that software authors must take deliberate steps to ensure that the model will be, in the end, valid SBML. These steps include such things as keeping track of the identifiers used in a model, manually performing updates in certain situations where an entity is referenced in more than one place (e.g., a species that is referenced by multiple SpeciesReference objects), and so on.
That said, libSBML does provide powerful features for deliberately performing validation of SBML when an application decides it is time to do so. The interfaces to these facilities are on the SBMLDocument class, in the form of SBMLDocument.checkInternalConsistency() and SBMLDocument.checkConsistency(). Please refer to the documentation for SBMLDocument for more information about this.
While applications may play fast and loose and live like free spirits during the construction and editing of SBML models, they should always make sure to call SBMLDocument.checkInternalConsistency() and/or SBMLDocument.checkConsistency() before writing out the final version of an SBML model.
As mentioned above, the Model class has a number of optional attributes in SBML Level 3 Version 1 Core. These are 'substanceUnits', 'timeUnits', 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits', 'lengthUnits', 'extentUnits', and 'conversionFactor. The following provide more information about them.
The 'substanceUnits' attribute is used to specify the unit of measurement associated with substance quantities of Species objects that do not specify units explicitly. If a given Species object definition does not specify its unit of substance quantity via the 'substanceUnits' attribute on the Species object instance, then that species inherits the value of the Model 'substanceUnits' attribute. If the Model does not define a value for this attribute, then there is no unit to inherit, and all species that do not specify individual 'substanceUnits' attribute values then have no declared units for their quantities. The SBML Level 3 Version 1 Core specification provides more details.
Note that when the identifier of a species appears in a model's mathematical expressions, the unit of measurement associated with that identifier is not solely determined by setting 'substanceUnits' on Model or Species. Please see the discussion about units given in the documentation for the Species class.
The 'timeUnits' attribute on SBML Level 3's Model object is used to specify the unit in which time is measured in the model. This attribute on Model is the only way to specify a unit for time in a model. It is a global attribute; time is measured in the model everywhere in the same way. This is particularly relevant to Reaction and RateRule objects in a model: all Reaction and RateRule objects in SBML define per-time values, and the unit of time is given by the 'timeUnits' attribute on the Model object instance. If the Model 'timeUnits' attribute has no value, it means that the unit of time is not defined for the model's reactions and rate rules. Leaving it unspecified in an SBML model does not result in an invalid model in SBML Level 3; however, as a matter of best practice, we strongly recommend that all models specify units of measurement for time.
The attributes 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits' and 'lengthUnits' together are used to set the units of measurements for the sizes of Compartment objects in an SBML Level 3 model when those objects do not otherwise specify units. The three attributes correspond to the most common cases of compartment dimensions: 'volumeUnits' for compartments having a 'spatialDimensions' attribute value of '3'
, 'areaUnits' for compartments having a 'spatialDimensions' attribute value of '2'
, and 'lengthUnits' for compartments having a 'spatialDimensions' attribute value of '1'
. The attributes are not applicable to compartments whose 'spatialDimensions' attribute values are not one of '1'
, '2'
or '3'
.
If a given Compartment object instance does not provide a value for its 'units' attribute, then the unit of measurement of that compartment's size is inherited from the value specified by the Model 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits' or 'lengthUnits' attribute, as appropriate based on the Compartment object's 'spatialDimensions' attribute value. If the Model object does not define the relevant attribute, then there are no units to inherit, and all Compartment objects that do not set a value for their 'units' attribute then have no units associated with their compartment sizes.
The use of three separate attributes is a carry-over from SBML Level 2. Note that it is entirely possible for a model to define a value for two or more of the attributes 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits' and 'lengthUnits' simultaneously, because SBML models may contain compartments with different numbers of dimensions.
Reactions are processes that occur over time. These processes involve events of some sort, where a single ``reaction event'' is one in which some set of entities (known as reactants, products and modifiers in SBML) interact, once. The extent of a reaction is a measure of how many times the reaction has occurred, while the time derivative of the extent gives the instantaneous rate at which the reaction is occurring. Thus, what is colloquially referred to as the 'rate of the reaction' is in fact equal to the rate of change of reaction extent.
In SBML Level 3, the combination of 'extentUnits' and 'timeUnits' defines the units of kinetic laws in SBML and establishes how the numerical value of each KineticLaw object's mathematical formula is meant to be interpreted in a model. The units of the kinetic laws are taken to be 'extentUnits' divided by 'timeUnits'.
Note that this embodies an important principle in SBML Level 3 models: all reactions in an SBML model must have the same units for the rate of change of extent. In other words, the units of all reaction rates in the model must be the same. There is only one global value for 'extentUnits' and one global value for 'timeUnits'.
The attribute 'conversionFactor' in SBML Level 3's Model object defines a global value inherited by all Species object instances that do not define separate values for their 'conversionFactor' attributes. The value of this attribute must refer to a Parameter object instance defined in the model. The Parameter object in question must be a constant; ie it must have its 'constant' attribute value set to 'true'
.
If a given Species object definition does not specify a conversion factor via the 'conversionFactor' attribute on Species, then the species inherits the conversion factor specified by the Model 'conversionFactor' attribute. If the Model does not define a value for this attribute, then there is no conversion factor to inherit. More information about conversion factors is provided in the SBML Level 3 Version 1 specification.

In SBML Level 2 Version 1, the components are: FunctionDefinition, UnitDefinition, Compartment, Species, Parameter, Rule, Reaction and Event. Instances of the classes are placed inside instances of classes ListOfFunctionDefinitions, ListOfUnitDefinitions, ListOfCompartments, ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfRules, ListOfReactions, and ListOfEvents.
In SBML Level 2 Versions 2, 3 and 4, the components are: FunctionDefinition, UnitDefinition, CompartmentType, SpeciesType, Compartment, Species, Parameter, InitialAssignment, Rule, Constraint, Reaction and Event. Instances of the classes are placed inside instances of classes ListOfFunctionDefinitions, ListOfUnitDefinitions, ListOfCompartmentTypes, ListOfSpeciesTypes, ListOfCompartments, ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfInitialAssignments, ListOfRules, ListOfConstraints, ListOfReactions, and ListOfEvents.
Although all the lists are optional, there are dependencies between SBML components such that defining some components requires defining others. An example is that defining a species requires defining a compartment, and defining a reaction requires defining a species. The dependencies are explained in more detail in the SBML specifications.
In addition to the above lists and attributes, the Model class in both SBML Level 2 and Level 3 has the usual two attributes of 'id' and 'name', and both are optional.

The createObject()
methods return a pointer to the object created, but they also add the object to the relevant list of object instances contained in the parent. (These lists become the <listOfObjects>

As mentioned above, the Model class has a number of optional attributes in SBML Level 3 Version 1 Core. These are 'substanceUnits', 'timeUnits', 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits', 'lengthUnits', 'extentUnits', and 'conversionFactor. The following provide more information about them.
The 'substanceUnits' attribute is used to specify the unit of measurement associated with substance quantities of Species objects that do not specify units explicitly. If a given Species object definition does not specify its unit of substance quantity via the 'substanceUnits' attribute on the Species object instance, then that species inherits the value of the Model 'substanceUnits' attribute. If the Model does not define a value for this attribute, then there is no unit to inherit, and all species that do not specify individual 'substanceUnits' attribute values then have no declared units for their quantities. The SBML Level 3 Version 1 Core specification provides more details.
Note that when the identifier of a species appears in a model's mathematical expressions, the unit of measurement associated with that identifier is not solely determined by setting 'substanceUnits' on Model or Species. Please see the discussion about units given in the documentation for the Species class.
The 'timeUnits' attribute on SBML Level 3's Model object is used to specify the unit in which time is measured in the model. This attribute on Model is the only way to specify a unit for time in a model. It is a global attribute; time is measured in the model everywhere in the same way. This is particularly relevant to Reaction and RateRule objects in a model: all Reaction and RateRule objects in SBML define per-time values, and the unit of time is given by the 'timeUnits' attribute on the Model object instance. If the Model 'timeUnits' attribute has no value, it means that the unit of time is not defined for the model's reactions and rate rules. Leaving it unspecified in an SBML model does not result in an invalid model in SBML Level 3; however, as a matter of best practice, we strongly recommend that all models specify units of measurement for time.
The attributes 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits' and 'lengthUnits' together are used to set the units of measurements for the sizes of Compartment objects in an SBML Level 3 model when those objects do not otherwise specify units. The three attributes correspond to the most common cases of compartment dimensions: 'volumeUnits' for compartments having a 'spatialDimensions' attribute value of '3'
, 'areaUnits' for compartments having a 'spatialDimensions' attribute value of '2'
, and 'lengthUnits' for compartments having a 'spatialDimensions' attribute value of '1'
. The attributes are not applicable to compartments whose 'spatialDimensions' attribute values are not one of '1'
, '2'
or '3'
.
If a given Compartment object instance does not provide a value for its 'units' attribute, then the unit of measurement of that compartment's size is inherited from the value specified by the Model 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits' or 'lengthUnits' attribute, as appropriate based on the Compartment object's 'spatialDimensions' attribute value. If the Model object does not define the relevant attribute, then there are no units to inherit, and all Compartment objects that do not set a value for their 'units' attribute then have no units associated with their compartment sizes.
The use of three separate attributes is a carry-over from SBML Level 2. Note that it is entirely possible for a model to define a value for two or more of the attributes 'volumeUnits', 'areaUnits' and 'lengthUnits' simultaneously, because SBML models may contain compartments with different numbers of dimensions.
Reactions are processes that occur over time. These processes involve events of some sort, where a single ``reaction event'' is one in which some set of entities (known as reactants, products and modifiers in SBML) interact, once. The extent of a reaction is a measure of how many times the reaction has occurred, while the time derivative of the extent gives the instantaneous rate at which the reaction is occurring. Thus, what is colloquially referred to as the 'rate of the reaction' is in fact equal to the rate of change of reaction extent.
In SBML Level 3, the combination of 'extentUnits' and 'timeUnits' defines the units of kinetic laws in SBML and establishes how the numerical value of each KineticLaw object's mathematical formula is meant to be interpreted in a model. The units of the kinetic laws are taken to be 'extentUnits' divided by 'timeUnits'.
Note that this embodies an important principle in SBML Level 3 models: all reactions in an SBML model must have the same units for the rate of change of extent. In other words, the units of all reaction rates in the model must be the same. There is only one global value for 'extentUnits' and one global value for 'timeUnits'.
The attribute 'conversionFactor' in SBML Level 3's Model object defines a global value inherited by all Species object instances that do not define separate values for their 'conversionFactor' attributes. The value of this attribute must refer to a Parameter object instance defined in the model. The Parameter object in question must be a constant; ie it must have its 'constant' attribute value set to 'true'
.
If a given Species object definition does not specify a conversion factor via the 'conversionFactor' attribute on Species, then the species inherits the conversion factor specified by the Model 'conversionFactor' attribute. If the Model does not define a value for this attribute, then there is no conversion factor to inherit. More information about conversion factors is provided in the SBML Level 3 Version 1 specification. Python method signature(s):

Python method signature(s):
disablePackage(SBase self, string pkgURI, string pkgPrefix)int
Disables the given SBML Level 3 package on this object.
This method disables the specified package on this object and other objects connected by child-parent links in the same SBMLDocument object.
An example of when this may be useful is during construction of model components when mixing existing and new models. Suppose your application read an SBML document containing a model that used the SBML Hierarchical Model Composition (“comp”) package, and extracted parts of that model in order to construct a new model in memory. The new, in-memory model will not accept a component drawn from another SBMLDocument with different package namespace declarations. You could reconstruct the same namespaces in the in-memory model first, but as a shortcut, you could also disable the package namespace on the object being added. Here is a code example to help clarify this:
import sys import os.path from libsbml import * # We read in an SBML L3V1 model that uses the 'comp' package namespace doc = readSBML('sbml-file-with-comp-elements.xml'); # We extract one of the species from the model we just read in. s1 = doc.getModel().getSpecies(0); # We construct a new model. This model does not use the 'comp' package. newDoc = SBMLDocument(3, 1); newModel = newDoc.createModel(); # The following would fail with an error, because addSpecies() would # first check that the parent of the given object has namespaces # declared, and will discover that s1 does but newModel does not. # newModel.addSpecies(s1); # However, if we disable the 'comp' package on s1, then the call # to addSpecies will work. s1.disablePackage('http://www.sbml.org/sbml/level3/version1/comp/version1', 'comp'); newModel.addSpecies(s1);

SBase
Returns the first ancestor object that has the given SBML type code from the given package.
LibSBML attaches an identifying code to every kind of SBML object. These are known as SBML type codes. In the Python language interface for libSBML, the type codes are defined as static integer constants in the interface class libsbml. The names of the type codes all begin with the characters SBML_
.
This method searches the tree of objects that are parents of this object, and returns the first one that has the given SBML type code from the given pkgName
.
type | the SBML type code of the object sought |
pkgName | (optional) the short name of an SBML Level 3 package to which the sought-after object must belong |
None
if no ancestor exists.pkgName
must be used for all type codes from SBML Level 3 packages. Otherwise, the function will search the 'core' namespace alone, not find any corresponding elements, and return None.

, the XML identifier type, which means each 'metaid' value must be globally unique within an SBML file. The latter point is important, because the uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type ID
anywhere in the file, not just the 'metaid' attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the 'annotation' subelement happens to use the XML ID
type. Although SBML itself specifies the use of XML ID
only for the 'metaid' attribute, SBML-compatible applications should be careful if they use XML ID
's in XML portions of a model that are not defined by SBML, such as in the application-specific content of the 'annotation' subelement. Finally, note that LibSBML does not provide an explicit XML ID
data type; it uses ordinary character strings, which is easier for applications to support.

However, the content cannot be entirely free-form; it must satisfy certain requirements defined in the SBML specifications for specific SBML Levels. To help verify the formatting of 'notes' content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker.hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); The method implements a verification process that lets callers check whether the content of a given XMLNode object conforms to the SBML requirements for 'notes' and 'message' structure. Developers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations of using 'notes' in SBML.

getResourceBiologicalQualifier(SBase self, string resource)long
Returns the MIRIAM biological qualifier associated with the given resource.
In MIRIAM, qualifiers are an optional means of indicating the relationship between a model component and its annotations. There are two broad kinds of annotations: model and biological. The latter kind is used to qualify the relationship between a model component and a biological entity which it represents. Examples of relationships include 'is' and 'has part', but many others are possible. MIRIAM defines numerous relationship qualifiers to enable different software tools to qualify biological annotations in the same standardized way. In libSBML, the MIRIAM controlled-vocabulary annotations on an SBML model element are represented using lists of CVTerm objects, and the the MIRIAM biological qualifiers are represented using valueswhose names begin with BQB_
in the interface class libsbml.
This method searches the controlled-vocabulary annotations (i.e., the list of CVTerm objects) on the present object, then out of those that have biological qualifiers, looks for an annotation to the given resource
. If such an annotation is found, it returns the type of biological qualifier associated with that resource as a valuewhose name begins with BQB_
from the interface class libsbml.

getResourceModelQualifier(SBase self, string resource)long
Returns the MIRIAM model qualifier associated with the given resource.
In MIRIAM, qualifiers are an optional means of indicating the relationship between a model component and its annotations. There are two broad kinds of annotations: model and biological. The former kind is used to qualify the relationship between a model component and another modeling object. An example qualifier is 'isDerivedFrom', to indicate that a given component of the model is derived from the modeling object represented by the referenced resource. MIRIAM defines numerous relationship qualifiers to enable different software tools to qualify model annotations in the same standardized way. In libSBML, the MIRIAM controlled-vocabulary annotations on an SBML model element are represented using lists of CVTerm objects, and the the MIRIAM model qualifiers are represented using valueswhose names begin with BQM_

getSBOTerm(SBase self)int
Returns the integer portion of the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute of this object.
Beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 3, objects derived from SBase have an optional attribute named 'sboTerm' for supporting the use of the Systems Biology Ontology. In SBML proper, the data type of the attribute is a string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN', where 'NNNNNNN' is a seven digit integer number; libSBML simplifies the representation by only storing the 'NNNNNNN' integer portion. Thus, in libSBML, the 'sboTerm' attribute on SBase has data type int
, and SBO identifiers are stored simply as integers. (For convenience, libSBML offers methods for returning both the integer form and a text-string form of the SBO identifier.)
SBO terms are a type of optional annotation, and each different class of SBML object derived from SBase imposes its own requirements about the values permitted for 'sboTerm'. Please consult the SBML Level 2 Version 4 specification for more information about the use of SBO and the 'sboTerm' attribute.

, the XML identifier type, which means each 'metaid' value must be globally unique within an SBML file. The latter point is important, because the uniqueness criterion applies across any attribute with type ID
anywhere in the file, not just the 'metaid' attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the 'annotation' subelement happens to use the XML ID
type. Although SBML itself specifies the use of XML ID
only for the 'metaid' attribute, SBML-compatible applications should be careful if they use XML ID
's in XML portions of a model that are not defined by SBML, such as in the application-specific content of the 'annotation' subelement. Finally, note that LibSBML does not provide an explicit XML ID
data type; it uses ordinary character strings, which is easier for applications to support.True

isSetNotes(SBase self)bool
Predicate returning True
if this object's 'notes' subelement exists and has content.
The optional SBML element named 'notes', present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the 'notes' element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the 'notes' element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for 'notes', allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.
The format of 'notes' elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of 'notes' content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker.hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and 3 specifications have considerable detail about how 'notes' element content must be structured.

int
Removes the top-level element within the 'annotation' subelement of this SBML object with the given name and optional URI.
SBML places a few restrictions on the organization of the content of annotations; these are intended to help software tools read and write the data as well as help reduce conflicts between annotations added by different tools. Please see the SBML specifications for more details.
Calling this method allows a particular annotation element to be removed whilst the remaining annotations remain intact.
elementName | a string representing the name of the top level annotation element that is to be removed |
elementURI | an optional string that is used to check both the name and URI of the top level element to be removed |
removeEmpty | if after removing of the element, the annotation is empty, and the removeEmpty argument is true, the annotation node will be deleted (default). |

. All attributes that hold values referring to values of type ID
are of the XML data type IDREF
. They are also sometimes informally referred to as 'metaid refs', in analogy to the SBML-defined type SIdRef
.This method works by looking at all meta-identifier attribute values, comparing the identifiers to the value of oldid

anywhere in the file, not just the 'metaid' attribute used by SBML—something to be aware of if your application-specific XML content inside the 'annotation' subelement happens to use the XML ID
type. Although SBML itself specifies the use of XML ID
only for the 'metaid' attribute, SBML-compatible applications should be careful if they use XML ID
's in XML portions of a model that are not defined by SBML, such as in the application-specific content of the 'annotation' subelement. Finally, note that LibSBML does not provide an explicit XML ID

Sets the value of the 'notes' subelement of this SBML object to a copy of the string notes
.
The content of notes
is copied, and any existing content of this object's 'notes' subelement is deleted.
The optional SBML element named 'notes', present on every major SBML component type, is intended as a place for storing optional information intended to be seen by humans. An example use of the 'notes' element would be to contain formatted user comments about the model element in which the 'notes' element is enclosed. Every object derived directly or indirectly from type SBase can have a separate value for 'notes', allowing users considerable freedom when adding comments to their models.
The format of 'notes' elements must be XHTML 1.0. To help verify the formatting of 'notes' content, libSBML provides the static utility method SyntaxChecker.hasExpectedXHTMLSyntax(); however, readers are urged to consult the appropriate SBML specification document for the Level and Version of their model for more in-depth explanations. The SBML Level 2 and 3 specifications have considerable detail about how 'notes' element content must be structured.
The following code illustrates a very simple way of setting the notes using this method. Here, the object being annotated is the whole SBML document, but that is for illustration purposes only; you could of course use this same approach to annotate any other SBML component.
notes | an XML string that is to be used as the content of the 'notes' subelement of this object |
addXHTMLMarkup | a boolean indicating whether to wrap the contents of the notes argument with XHTML paragraph (<p> ) tags. This is appropriate when the string in notes does not already containg the appropriate XHTML markup. |

int
This method has multiple variants that differ in the arguments they accept. Each is described separately below.
setSBOTerm(int value)
Sets the value of the 'sboTerm' attribute.
Beginning with SBML Level 2 Version 3, objects derived from SBase have an optional attribute named 'sboTerm' for supporting the use of the Systems Biology Ontology. In SBML proper, the data type of the attribute is a string of the form 'SBO:NNNNNNN', where 'NNNNNNN' is a seven digit integer number; libSBML simplifies the representation by only storing the 'NNNNNNN' integer portion. Thus, in libSBML, the 'sboTerm' attribute on SBase has data type int
, and SBO identifiers are stored simply as integers.
SBO terms are a type of optional annotation, and each different class of SBML object derived from SBase imposes its own requirements about the values permitted for 'sboTerm'. Please consult the SBML Level 2 Version 4 specification for more information about the use of SBO and the 'sboTerm' attribute.
